OVER DEZE AFLEVERING
If you’ve ever stared at a piece of your own art and felt the sting of the word “ugly,” you’re about to hear a conversation that turns that feeling into a gentle invitation. You’ll explore how the moment you label a creation as ugly can be swapped for a simple act of love, and why that shift frees space for both acceptance and growth. You’ll discover how expectations can dim your joy, and how seeing your work as a living, evolving part of yourself lets you improve without harsh self‑judgment. Come on in, and let your creative heart find a cozy spot to settle.
